In preparation of Debian Stretch becoming the next stable we decided to make some changes in the SolydXK specific configuration packages which means that the following packages are now obsolete:
- solydx-info
- solydk-info
- solydx-system-adjustments
- solydk-system-adjustments
They are being replaced by these packages:
- solydx-system-adjustments-8
- solydk-system-adjusmtents-8
When these new packages are successfully installed, the old system-adjusmtents packages will be removed with the next boot or you can safely remove it manually by the following command:
apt purge solydx-system-adjustments
or
apt purge solydk-system-adjustments
SolydK users might want to remove these packages unless you are using the provided icon theme and want to keep using these icons:
- evolvere-icon-theme-vivid-sunken
- evolvere-icon-theme
They were replaced by these packages:
- evolvere-icon-theme-flat-vivid-sunken
- evolvere-icon-theme-flat-vivid-sunken-dark
During this update the entry for the solydxk repository in the /etc/apt/sources.list file will be changed to:
deb http://repository.solydxk.com/ solydxk-8 main upstream import
This will prevent your system to automatically upgrade to Debian Stretch when we switch the default SolydXK repository from solydxk-8 to solydxk-9 for Stretch. You can decide whenever you are ready for the upgrade by simply changing the sources.list file. We will provide a howto when that time comes.
As you can see we created the next stable SolydXK repository called solydxk-9. This repository will contain the same files as our current solydxk-8 repository but with some specific packages added for the next release based on Debian Stretch. I’ve recently started a topic on our forum where people can try out the alpha releases of these ISOs. They are under heavy development and by far ready from being used as a production system but if you want to have a peek on what’s coming next and want to help out debugging, here’s the link: https://forums.solydxk.com/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=6781
